Residents in Church End and Roundwood are being asked for their views on designs for a £3million project to improve the look and feel of the area. This is a ring-fenced fund that can only be spent on infrastructure, ensuring it is dedicated to projects that benefit the community.
As part of the Council’s Green Neighbourhoods initiative, this ambitious project -delivered in partnership with Steer and MP Smarter Travel (MPST) - seeks to transform the area into a model for environmental sustainability. Known as ‘Green Corridors,’ the improvements will be rolled out in phases, focusing on better walking and cycling access, cleaner air, increased safety, and overall community wellbeing.
Residents, businesses and commuters in Church End and Roundwood are invited to have their say on plans to improve walking, wheeling, cycling, safety and inclusivity along Church Path and Longstone Avenue.
Work on the project’s first phase will focus on Church Path and Longstone Avenue, which is expected to be completed by Spring 2026. The online consultation will run from 7 July to 3 August with drop-in engagement events happening on 15 and 30 July.
Church Path will be turned into a green corridor with landscaping, improved paths, and upgraded crossings to provide safer and more environmentally friendly routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
Longstone Avenue will be given a fresh look with new zebra crossings and greenery. There will also be landscaping improvements at Longstone Avenue Open Space and Roundwood Park Annex.
